Subject: [PATCH v1 00/12] Cleanup use of 'struct ppc_inst'

This series is a cleanup of the use of 'struct ppc_inst'.

A confusion is made between internal representation of powerpc
instructions with 'struct ppc_inst' and in-memory code which is
and will always be an array of 'unsigned int'.

This series cleans it up.

First patch is fixing detection of missing '__user' flag by sparse
when using get_user_instr().

Last part of the series does some source code cleanup in
optprobes, it is put at the ends of this series because of
clashes with the 'struct ppc_inst' cleanups.

Christophe Leroy (12):
  powerpc/inst: Fix sparse detection on get_user_instr()
  powerpc/inst: Reduce casts in get_user_instr()
  powerpc/inst: Improve readability of get_user_instr() and friends
  powerpc/inst: Avoid pointer dereferencing in ppc_inst_equal()
  powerpc: Do not dereference code as 'struct ppc_inst' (uprobe,
    code-patching, feature-fixups)
  powerpc/lib/code-patching: Make instr_is_branch_to_addr() static
  powerpc/lib/code-patching: Don't use struct 'ppc_inst' for runnable
    code in tests.
  powerpc: Don't use 'struct ppc_inst' to reference instruction location
  powerpc/inst: Refactor PPC32 and PPC64 versions
  powerpc/optprobes: Minimise casts
  powerpc/optprobes: Compact code source a bit.
  powerpc/optprobes: use PPC_RAW_ macros
